Does anyone read everything linked and quoted from in here? This is like the mega shitbin thread, personally I prefer random garbage from GAF to "heh" about that some people like versus yet another debate about the moderators or the financial prospects of the site.
I don't really browse GAF so it's being linked to something, like up there Vom linked to a thread and I made some snarky comments off the posts, and before that Jansen did. I did go look for the Chelsea Manning thread because it was breaking news and that cognitive dissonance is funny to me. Especially since some of you and my PoliGAF friends have spent the last four years calling for her and Snowden's heads in a duffel bag dumped in the sea next to the fake Osama corpse.
If you want stuff funny to you, and this applies to me, you gotta get most of it on your own. This thread for like a year was filled with Devo crying, then she joined and it was about her ShadowMod antics and the dummies in those threads, recently we've got the Bore's War on Black People (Slayven, Enzom21, BobbyRoberts, Lime, etc.) and Gamergaters like Let's Cyber, Himu, Stufe and so on raging against the left for calling racists racist. (And I'm sure my posting probably doesn't discourage that type of poster taking up residence in here which is why I would apologize to seagram, Wrath and others.)
When I do take a gander, I often
do link to goofy non-political stuff. But it doesn't seem like there's as much as it anymore or it's buried way down. Twenty comic movie threads endlessly debating the same points, twenty spoiler-tag filled TV show threads, another fifty Trump threads, twenty five threads about the cause/disaster of the moment (stay safe, this is a forum too), another fifteen threads that combine all these into one. Even if I want to look for a dumb TRUMP thread to be facetious in I sometimes have to wade all the way down to page five. Plus the mods have increasingly shut down all the juicy "how do I life?" threads out of fear they're fake. I just had to dig down to the sixth page to find that "weird encounter on the bus" thread AND the poop phone thread. They're the only ones on there not about a news story, Trump or a piece of media.
The thread that most sticks out to me as having funny responses is one I'm NOT going to link or quote to because it's about worst Presidents even if it has gems like:
Yeah, it's evident that the Civil War has just been a Cold War for the last 150 years since Johnson and Co botched Reconstruction.
I'd argue sic semper tyrannis is the first dog whistle (and the most famous).
But I can't complain about ya Jack, you've moved out into the rest of the forum rather successfully.
Though your insults are getting weak. Next thing you know you'll wind up "liking" my posts.
